A Taste of Hogmanay in South Uist

Parisa Urquhart runs her property company from one of The Melting Pot’s Fixed Desks, she’s also passionate about film and documentary. Parisa brought in the new year by taking a trip to South Uist and came back wanting to spread the word about the community. What better way to give people a taste of South Uist than through the power of film?

The group Ceolas, based in South Uist, is a distillation of the island’s culture and heritage, they’re raising funds to build a Centre for Gàidhlig Music, Dance and Culture! You can donate, even a small amount, to show your support.

Have a watch of this 4 minute video by Parisa to experience Hogmanay traditions, fantastic Gaidhlig music and how wild Uist Ceilidhs can be!
